Peggy Lee’s Best Of Vol. 2 showcases a selection of songs from the previous decade featuring the intimate and romantic jazz vocal style for which she was famed. (UK:18)
“This superb collection will introduce you to some of Peggy's best work. Then there's her wicked Sans Souci, watch out.”
“Peggy does not have a powerful voice in the conventional sense of the word and perhaps that is part of the secret of her success. Her voice has a quality with somehow compels her audience to listen and to concentrate on her singing. Once you do that, she has got you - like a femme fatale she tightens her grip and any attempt at escape is futile.”
“Love Letters, which Peggy recorded several years before Ketty Lester made the song popular in the sixties. Peggy's version of this 1940s song is more intimately romantic than most other versions I've heard.”
“This compilation contains many outstanding examples of Peggy's artistry. Many of the songs are ballads at which Peggy excels, though there are several brilliant mid-tempo and uptempo songs to prove Peggy's versatility.”
“Unlike the wannabees on the game-music shows kids look up to today, Peggy Lee had unimaginable clarity and technical adroitness in her vocal renditions.”
